### Description (declared)

# FABRIC API MCP Server

[![Python 3.11+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.11%2B-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-green.svg)](./LICENSE)
[![MCP](https://img.shields.io/badge/MCP-compatible-purple.svg)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)

A production-ready **[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/)** server that lets LLM clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code Copilot, ChatGPT, Chatbox, etc.) **query, provision, and manage** resources on the **[FABRIC Testbed](https://fabric-testbed.net/)** — a nation-wide programmable network research infrastructure.

### Key features

- **Two modes** — run locally (full-featured, SSH to VMs) or connect to a shared remote server
- **30+ tools** — query sites/hosts/links, build slices, modify resources, manage SSH keys, reboot nodes, and more
- **Stateless & secure** — no credentials stored; every call uses a Bearer FABRIC ID token (server mode) or local `fabric_rc` config (local mode)
- **Declarative filter DSL** — powerful filtering, sorting, and pagination on all query tools
- **Production-ready** — OpenResty reverse proxy, Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, structured logging with per-request tracing
- **Resource cache** — optional background refresh for sub-second topology queries
